US President Donald Trump has claimed that the recent conflict has dramatically weakened Iran, asserting that the country has effectively lost much of its military capability.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump argued that the war had left Iran without key defence assets, including its air force, navy, air defence systems, and radar infrastructure, Caliber.Az reports.
“The War has diminished Iran! It doesn’t, any longer, have an Air Force, a Navy, Antiaircraft Equipment, Radar, or practically anything else, and yet the Dumocrats say that Iran is better off now than it was four months ago. Can you imagine getting away with that??? How stupid can some people be???” Trump wrote.
The US president also rejected suggestions that Washington had engaged Tehran from a position of weakness, insisting that Iran had been the party seeking talks.
“We didn’t meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED! We’ll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!” he added.
